  1. Smaller Target? on Hacker-Built PC Scans 300 Wifi Networks At Once · · Score: 0
    Isn't the object of wireless hacking to find your way into a 'secured' wireless network. That would make you a bigger target than an open network. With an open network, the least they could do is read ALL of your data.
    <sarcasm />
    I still believe you should encrypt it, but at least use something other than the standard WEP encryption. Even WPA or WPA2 would be a better solution than using standard WEP encryption.
  2. iTunes came out when? on Apple Gives In to Absurd Patent Claims · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I became a mac user around OS 8.5, and i remember iTunes coming out back in 2001. Why did it take Contois so long to file against Apple? Couldn't this have been brought up well before the current date? Or is there another reason behind this?

  3. Re:Hmmm... on Fantasy Trumps Sci-Fi For MMOs · · Score: 0

    There is a big difference between a lazer gun and casting a spell. It's all in the timing and feel of the game. When you're playing fantasy, there's a part of the game that tells you that pulling out a wand and physically casting a spell is much more developed and realistic (inside the game) than shooting from the hip with a lazer gun that fires almost automatically. This feel of being inside a game is why people play fantasy more than sci-fi. Sci-fi seems a little too much like today, and people are trying to escape that. Not using guns is a big part of maintaining that escape from reality.

    Why would anyone, let alone HP, use a browser like Netscape? You might as well use Opera or IE...

  9. Re:Lack of freezing is always good. on Preview of KDE 3.5 · · Score: 1

    You know, Mac OS X just came out with all of these features... four years ago... and it rarely freezes- even on a slow G3 or G4.
